Screen to Save 2: Rural Cancer Screening Educational Intervention
Palabras clave
Abstracto
Descripción
The Dartmouth-Hitchcock Norris Cotton Cancer Center's Community Outreach and Engagement Team will implement Screen to Save 2 in two formats—traditional outreach using in-person fairs and an online format. The education in both formats will be based on a set of key messages that cover information about colorectal cancer, including risk factors, prevention, screening recommendations, and screening options. Key messages provided by the National Cancer Institute will be tailored to the local context of NH and VT, including information about local options for getting screened for colorectal cancer. A third arm will receive education about lung cancer screening. This third arm will serve as the control arm for the first two arms (the arms receiving in-person or online colorectal cancer screening education) to assess study Aim 1. This third arm will also serve as an intervention arm for assessing Study Aim 2.
Using online or telephone surveys, some participants will be contacted approximately three months after their initial participation. Some of the participants contacted after three months will again be contacted another three months later (six months after initial participation). The three- and six-month surveys will assess knowledge, attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors related to cancer screening, including outcomes from cancer screening.
The primary aims of the study are as follows:
Aim 1: Implement and evaluate Screen to Save 2 outreach and educational activities to improve knowledge of colorectal cancer screening methods, to increase intent to get screened for colorectal cancer, and connect screening services to the target population.
Aim 1a: Conduct cancer screening fairs in Rural Urban Continuum Code (RUCC) 7—9 counties, using the Screen to Save 2 framework and materials and, where feasible, coordinate with local service providers to make colorectal cancer screening services available to event attendees.
Aim 1b: Utilize web-based module to conduct targeted outreach about colorectal cancer screening using the Screen to Save 2 framework and materials and refer them to locally-available screenings
The secondary aim of the study is:
Aim 2: Evaluate online educational activities' ability to reach 50-74 year old current and former tobacco users from rural (RUCC 7-9) counties, increase lung cancer screening knowledge among that demographic, and encourage engagement with local tobacco treatment resources and lung cancer screening.

Experimental: Experimental Arm 1 Attendees at in-person events (e.g. health fairs) who meet eligibility criteria will be able to enroll and participate in-person, with some participating in online or telephone survey follow-up. | Other: Experimental Arm 1 Participants will receive verbal instruction covering the key messages, including risk factors, prevention, screening recommendations, and screening options pertaining to colorectal cancer. These in-person programs will take place in a variety of settings such as community-based organizations (e.g., community businesses, libraries, faith-based organizations, senior centers), fairs and community events, and clinical centers (e.g., health centers, local hospitals). Depending on the setting, education will be facilitated with one or more of the following educational tools: inflatable colon exhibit, PowerPoint presentation, flip chart/flip book, written materials/handouts, and displays. Data will be collected via pre- and post-tests. Some participants will be asked to participate in three and/or six-month follow-up surveys administered online or by telephone. |
Experimental: Experimental Arm 2 People with social medial accounts (e.g. Facebook) will receive a message about the study (e.g. via an age and geospatially targeted Facebook ad) and have the option to enroll in the study if meeting eligibility criteria, with some participating in online or telephone follow-up. | Other: Experimental Arm 2 Participants will receive online education via a video and website. Key messages will include information on risk factors, prevention, screening recommendations, and screening options pertaining to colorectal cancer. Some participants will be asked to participate in three and/or six-month follow-up surveys administered online or by telephone. |
Experimental: Experimental Arm 3 People with social medial accounts (e.g. Facebook) will receive a message about the study (e.g. via an age and geospatially targeted Facebook ad) and have the option to enroll in the study if meeting eligibility criteria, with some participating in online or telephone follow-up. This arms will serve as an experimental arm for assessing study aim 2 and as a control arm for study aim 1. | Other: Experimental Arm 3 Participants will receive online education via a video and website about lung cancer screening. Some participants will be asked to participate in three and/or six-month follow-up surveys administered online or by telephone. |
